How do I make a leaderboard?

You could easily make one, you just need a box in game 24/7 with logs turned on and a script (cron job) that parses the log and uploads the parsed info to database... viola!

Get a $5/month HostGator set up..

MySQL for database.. your script to upload the data could be written in many languages..

Then you would need some HTML/CSS, maybe some jQuery for sexiness and PHP to query the data the way you want.

If you can get a box logging 24/7 I'll host everything and code it for you.

Only issue I am seeing is the delay in getting the logs parsed to the DB. Unless the site is hosted on the same box as the toon with /log turned on it wouldn't be as real time as you would probably like. I'll think about this issue if you can get a toon logging 24/7..

Can you decide where the EQ log file goes? Never really messed with logs in EQ too much, but if we can just set up a simple file server on the box with the logging toon, I could easily write a script that could update data every 5 minutes or so...

Knowing him he prob has a separate dedicated IP just for that bot.. the dude bought Nizzar a new computer.. I am sure he could afford another internet connection [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
